The need of building occupants for ventilation has been recognized many centuries ago; however, since the early 1970s, ventilation systems for buildings and transport systems have considerably evolved. This was invigorated by researchers who demonstrated the requirements for buildings to provide comfort and good air quality indoors (e.g., Fanger, 1972; Fanger and Christensen, 1986; Fanger, 1988...

It has been determined from extensive testing conducted between May 1987 and May 1988, in the hot and humid climate of central Florida, that pressure differences within the envelope of residential housing exists. These can range from near neutral to pressures, either positive or negative, as great as 0.24" W.C. (60 pascals). Reasons sighted and discussed in this paper include duct system design...

To enable global scale quantum key distribution (QKD), satellite based systems are the most promising approach. So far, free-space QKD has already been demonstrated on communication channels with attenuation comparable to satellite downlinks, and classical laser communications with satellites and aircrafts is heavily explored. Here, combining both these challenges, we demonstrate an aircraft to...

1. introduction one of the most important conditions to have dusty weather beside of unstable weather is existence or non-existence of humidity. unstable weather having enough humidity will produce rain and thunder storm, else if the result will be dust storm. number of particles of dusty storm is depended to wind speed, sec of soil and its dimension. furthermore, vegetation type has importance...

Guangzhou is the capital and largest city (land area: 7287 km(2)) of Guangdong province in South China. The air quality in Guangzhou typically worsens in November due to unfavorable meteorological conditions for pollutant dispersion. During the Guangzhou Asian Games in November 2010, the Guangzhou government carried out a number of emission control measures that significantly improved the air q...

The goal of the present research is to define size criteria for the design of specific machines for the distribution of pesticides in wine-growing context of Apulia Region, through the development of the experimental results. It was designed and realized a specific version of pulled straddle sprayer, air convection type, single-row, characterized by a spraying tunnel and a recovery system of th...

The key component of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system is an air compressor/expander. The roundtrip efficiency of this energy storage technology depends greatly on the efficiency of the air compressor/expander. There is a trade off between the thermal efficiency and power density of this component. Different ideas and approaches were introduced and studied in the previous works to imp...

In order to protect the living environment and effectively control harmful gas composition in basement of civil air defense wartime, this paper studies pollutants a project Jinan by CFD numerical simulation technology, simulates CO 2 concentration distribution under three different forms defense. The results show that when second-class shelter reaches high-density population environment, condit...

Room air distribution in hospital operating rooms (OR) is critical to the effective functioning of surgical procedures, but the air distribution patterns are governed by complex physics that are currently not well understood. Both qualitative and quantitative flow visualization techniques were used to evaluate the room air distribution in a full-scale chamber designed to simulate a hospital ope...
